Application filed October 7, 1907. Serial No. 396,128.

To (ii/l 'who/ii il may voitur/i.'

zen of the lnited States, iiiid resident ol' 'liowelh count)` ol' Middlesex. Stale ol Mzissii- 4clius'etts, have invented :iii Iniprovciiient in liooin-'l`eniples, ol' which the following description, in connection with the iii-companying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawing representing like parts.

`either the bai' or the teinllile-stand, and also to practically reduce. suei wear to a ninn-` i with the proper operation of the temple to` To those skilled in the art it is well known that the inward pull of the cloth` is exerted kupon the roll in such inaiiiier that the tendcncy is to not only draw the yrear end of the;

slide-bar inward against the adjacent portion ofthetemple-stand but also to tip oi .turn the `slide-bar itself within the stand. Asarcsult the wear of the parts is rapid and the slidebar is turned upon its longitudinal axis so that the teni )le-head and roll are tipped at an an rle to the plane of the. cloth, the' inner end o the roll being highest, and interfering suchan extent that such worn teinples are discarded and new ones substituted.

,By my present invention l ain enabled to revent such tipping or turning of the slide- Ear and teni )lc-head, and the lile'of the teni- `Yple as a wliole is grec tly prolonged.

The novel ieatii "es oi' iny invention will be fully described inthe subjoined speciiication and particularly.pointed out in the following claims; f Fi ure 1 is an inner side elevation of a looiiitemp e with #ne embodiment of iny invention showntin connection therewith; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the deviee illustrated in Fi l. y i

eferring to the drawings the templestand 1 having the .longitudinally-slotted, lateral flange 2 by which the stand is held in )osition on the loom, the shank or slide-bar 3 iongitudinally movable in tht Jtand and pro vided at its rear end With the head coinpris the cap 4, pod 5, and cloth-engaging roll gFig. '1, and the depending heel '7, may beL and are of well known or usual construction in loom-temples. i l

The rear portion of the slide-bar 3 is made in 6i vThis invention relates to loo-iii-teniples and i 1 rectangular in cross-section, as is coininon, to

t slide in the correspondingly shaped guiding portion ol the stand, as usuali` The lateral pull oi the cloth upon the roll 6 t tends to )ull the rear end ot the slide-bar i l i inward toward the center oi the looni, and also to turn or twist the bar, lifting the inner end oi the temple-head, as has been pointed by such tendencies are obviated by iny present invention.

Upon a suitablev portion oi the teniplestand, as forv instance the rear end of the flange 2 l insert a fuloruin-stud 8, shown as a scre\\'stud, inserted in a threaded hole 9, see dottcdlines Fig. 1, and upon the stud I fulcruip a lateral ly-swinging or movable arm 10, having 'its shorter outer end upturned at 11 and threaded to 'receive an adjusting screw `12. The innery end of said screw bears against the adjacent wall of the stand 1,'as shown clearly in Fig. 2, so that by turning the screw in or out the angular position of the arin 10 will be chan ed.

The rear end of t ie iirin is thickened and 13, which enters loosely a socket or recess forined by parallel ears '14 formed upon the outer face of a guide-shoe 15, having a flat, extended face 16 adapted to contact with the end oi the temple-stand, as shown, the outer inner end of the teniple-stand- By reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that ,the 'shoe is elongated to form a bearing surface f'or the slide-bar' extended well beyond from the lower edge of the bar to above the longitudinal cen-ter thereof". i The extended wearing or bearing surface thus provided to irevent twisting or turnin vim-from its llower edge upward, and at t ie rear end of the stand, to resist the inward pull of the cloth toward the center of the loom.

There is a loose or slightly pivotal -connection between the shoe and the supporting arin 1(),`iis will be manifest, so that no niatter by adjustnientthereof the shoe will always 'remain with its wear or bearing face 16 1n contact with and parallel to the side of the slide-bar. Were thispnarallelism not. preserved there would' be uneven wear between out, and l will noi describe the nieans where preferably tapered somewhat, to forni a toe the stand, and it is broad enough to extend' inner side ofthe slide-bar S'atljacent the rear' end oi the shoe abutting against the adjacent ,i

acts upon the slide-bar in the best position l` iw the angularity of the arm may be varied the s 10e and maintaining it in suc i position.

The force applied to the shoe to hold it against the side of the slide-bar is regulated by the adjusting screw 12, and by means of the latter the whole device is adjustable to take up Wear .on the shoe, (which may be made of brass or any other suitable material), and alsoto provide for slide-bars of differentI thickness.

Should a shoe become unduly worn it can be readily removed and a new one inserted by loosening the adjusting screw so that the rear end of the arm can be swung out enough to release the shoe.

As the slide-bar is prevented from turning bythe means described the Wear is'reduced to a minimum, and tilting or tipping of the temple-head and roll is prevented, the axis of the roll being maintained in parallelism with the plane ot' the cloth being woven.

llaving fullyl described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is zl.- In a loom-ten'iple, the combination with the stand, 4and a slide-bar movable longitudinally therein, of a guide-shoe baving an extended surface cooperating with the side of the slide-bar, and adjustable means to support and position ,the shoe in parallelism with the bar"ir1espective of' the 2 adjustment of said means. r l

'2. In a looni'l temple, thel n'combination with a slde-bar1 provided With"the templehead having a roll, and the temple-stand, of a guide-slice cooperating with the inner side of the slidebar, and an adjustable arm mounted/um the stand and eoperatingwith and maintaining the shoe in position to prevent tipping of the slide-bar.

3. ln `a loom-temple, the vcombination with the" stand, and a slide-bar movable longitudinally therein, of a guide-shoe having an extended surface, cooperating with the side o-f-.the slide-bar, and provided on its opposite/face with a socket, a fulcrum-stud on the stand, ah arm mounted' :in the stud to swing in a lateral path., the rear end of the arm entering the socket in the shoe, to support the lat-ter and maintain it pressed flat.

against the slidebar `irrespective of the angle ol the atm, andan adjusting screw in the outer end of and to regulate the angularity of the arm, said screw bearing against a fixed part of the stand. 1

4. ln a loom temple, the combinatioi with the stand, and a slide-bar movable longituilinally therein, of 'a shoe having an 'extended flat lace to bear agalnst the lnner side of the slide-bar adjacent the stand, and means adjustably mounted on the latter and lfrictionally engaging the outer face of the shoe to maintain the latter pressed a ain'st the slide-'bar and at all times in paral elisi'n therewith.
